Starter Cable

GordoSD · Mar 11, 2010

I just made up some new 0 ga cables with the metal flex shielding on them. What is the proper way to get them out of the battery box which is under the seat. All three of my 53-54 Supers have the same problem. When the lid is down tight there is just a small gap, maybe 3/8 inch. No way the nearly 1 inch shielded cable is coming out there.
Only way I see is get out the die grinder and carve out a half circle near the center. Maybe also install 2/3 rds of a rubber grommet.
How did Farmall get the cable out?

Gordo -

When I replaced the cable on my '53 SM I too had to enlarge the notch in the battery box to give room. To protect the new cable I slit short piece of 1/4" fuel hose and slipped it around the enlarged opening as a gromment.

Unfortunately I don't know how the cable was configured from the factory.

Methinks the factory used #2 cable.

I would say you will have to enlarge it. To use the gromet though you will really have to make the hole bigger.

What I want to know is what that 2X4 was doing in the tail of your Phantom ?

If that had gotten wedged in the wrong place at the wrong time you coulda augered in.

Our SMTA had the armor covering start outside the battery box & went forward from there.
